First Edition

[LGBTQ] Petersen, Bine Strange. Anything Goes. New York: Grove Inc. Press, 1967. First English edition. Translated by Hallberg Hallmundsson. 127 pages. Original cloth binding in publisher's dust jacket. A glimpse into the lesbian world in Copenhagen, Denmark, Anything Goes follows the protagonist Gitte as she navigates the city's seedy underbelly and struggles it presents the young lesbian. This work by Petersen is a fascinating novel that explores the ups and downs of lesbian life in 1960s Copenhagen, most notably how Danish society then neglected this segment of its population. Written at a time when lesbianism was taboo in a then more conservative Scandinavian society, the novel delivers an excellent portrayal of what it means to find lesbian love in a society that shuns it. Both the book and dust jacket in very good condition. 8.5x5'. Anything Goes provides an engrossing account of lesbian life in mid-century Europe.
